Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream (No Churn)

This homemade no-churn chocolate ice cream is a real treat. Made with luxurious vanilla pastry cream as a base, melted chocolate and whipped cream for that ultimate melt in the mouthfeel. You can use dark, milk or semi-sweet chocolate. So creamy you do not need to churn it in an ice cream maker.

I will admit I make a lot of homemade ice cream because it’s so good!! That does not mean I don’t use store-bought ice cream. I always have a tub of good old Vanilla Ice Cream on hand and that usually gets served with my desserts. You know sometimes a scoop of ice cream over a dessert can just make it all that much better. Like my Dark Chocolate or Strawberry Brownies or my summer tarts like the Plum Clafoutis, Blueberry Crumble etc.

Now, in my previous recipe for Must try tips to perfect no-churn ice cream I shared with you some of my secret tips for making good homemade ice cream. They sound simple but as you know sometimes a small thing can help make a huge difference. I hope you will read them and use whichever you can.

So, Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)

  •  Vanilla Pastry Cream – I have the recipe for classic vanilla pastry cream as well as eggless vanilla pastry cream. I love using the classic recipe because it’s richer and produces a really smooth; soft ice cream.
    Having said that I do not want to feed the family rich glorious ice cream every week/day. You know..!! So I often choose to use the eggless vanilla pastry cream.
  • Chocolate – Now I’ve always emphasized the importance of good quality chocolate. So I will avoid sounding like an old lady repeating myself and just tell you to please use a good quality chocolate that you like to eat.
  • Whipped cream – This, of course, will make the ice cream more rich and creamy.

      Thank you, Lauren. I know right? It’s so easy and really turns out creamy. When I took this pictures it was so hot here that the ice cream was melting so easily because it was so light. Thanks for coming back to write this feedback. So happy you enjoyed this recipe.

    There’s nothing like a fresh – homemade chocolate ice-cream and if it’s just 3 ingredients – It has my name written ALL Over It !!! I’m loving the creaminess of this recipe and just how easy it is to make it. I’ll have to try it soon now 🙂

    I’m right there with you; honestly, there’s nothing like homemade ice cream! You just get to make it your own and incorporate all these different flavours it’s awesome! Nothing like a good ol’ chocolate ice cream though!
